DTNVX KEY FEATURES
Flexible Power Architecture
DTNVX is available in either 1 × CR123A or 1 × AA battery configurations, providing deployment flexibility and simplified logistical support across diverse mission sets. Integrated external power capability enables extended-duration use, delivering a minimum runtime of 22 hours on internal batteries and more than 40 hours when paired with the dedicated external battery pack or compatible external power source.
Mission-Configurable User Programmability
DTNVX enables end-users to configure mission-specific system behavior directly in the field without dedicated programming equipment or external tools. Programmable functions – including automatic power management and activation sequences – can be adjusted to support changing operational requirements and individual user preferences.
PVS-14 Optics Compatibility
Fully compatible with the PVS-14 optics platform, DTNVX supports long-term sustainment for maintenance, repair, and accessory integration while offering users a broad range of optical configurations, including lightweight 40° FOV to 50° FOV optics.
Lightweight Ruggedized Construction
Combining European electronics with high-strength fiber-composite construction, DTNVX achieves an optimized balance of durability, weight reduction, and ergonomic integration. Its compact, lightweight design minimizes operator burden while maximizing compatibility with modern helmets, mounts, tactical equipment, and soldier systems.
